We began operations in October 2010.We had our great fortune to have the recording setup designed by Mr. Jatin Sharma, who is Industry’s leading acoustics engineer and designer. We got the Recording and Console room acoustics setup done first, then had the all the equipment brought in. The speakers were then calibrated as per our console room. The Visual shooting floor was designed and built simultaneously. It was designed by Mr.Jayanda. The entire facility was completed in 18 months.
